Synopsis
In France, at the end of the 50's, the life of a village near Orléans is upset by the arrival of GIs. Teenagers are fascinated by these new-comers who stand for adventure, wealth, music and by all novelties which can be found in the huge PX. But not everyone views this flamboyant invasion in a favorable light : "US Go Home", splashed in white paint, starts to appear on roads and walls. Patrick Carrion and Marie-José Vire had sworn to be eternally true to each other at a very early age. Now, in 1959 they are sixteen, and the teenage crisis they are both going through comes to a head through their shared admiration for America.
